Welcome back!
We hope you had a relaxing half term break and enjoyed the glorious weather. We are now in our last half term of the school year and ready for more fantastic learning.
This half term our topic is “Summer’s Here”, which includes different weekly themes all about the season of summer. Our first theme for this half term is all about ‘The Seaside’.
Thank you for your survey feedback. We are glad that you agree about including more Maths based learning. So, this half term we will alternate between the Curious Cat challenges and STEM challenges (which involve developing mathematical language and understanding). Daily super sentences will continue as usual. Don’t forget to use the choiceboard each week to plan your home learning to suit your day.
Have a great first week back .
Kind Regards,
The Reception Team.

After some of the Y5s were my guinea pigs, I would like as many children and families as possible from our school to trial something really exciting. This is based on an online tool called “Digimaps for Schools” by the University of Edinburgh.
[dropshadowbox align=”none” effect=”lifted-both” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#e1ecb7″ border_width=”2″ border_color=”#185e7e” ]Thank you Damara, Emiliana, Bianca, Lillian and James in Year 5 for giving it a good go.[/dropshadowbox]
Your task is to plan and document a walk you are going to undertake as a daily exercise. The steps I would like you to include are:
-
-
-
-
Go for a walk and take photographs of interesting sights.
-
Back at home, log-on to Digimaps.

-
Create a map for the local area you have taken your walk in.
-
Draw in the walk (draw lines in sections or as a whole; double-click for sections).
-
Pin in your home.
-
Measure the distance between the different parts of the walk.
-
After your walk, upload the photos into the right place on your map in Digimaps. (Remember to save.)
-
Save your map in your class-folder on Digimaps under your first name and the date (e.g. Max-17052020)
